Some years ago, when Jon was into Disney, I made him a pillow with scraps of fabric, that someone sent me, with Tinkerbell on it.
Jon used it when he napped in the living room.
It’s gotten worn over the years and a few weeks ago, Bud seemed to think it was one of his toys and started chewing on it. I was going to fix it, but then thought it was time for Jon to have a new pillow anyway (as if Bud knew).
So I got out my Language of the Goddess Book and a soft, old, cotton cloth from my stash, and started to draw.
I was thinking of images that might spark creative dreams. So I chose symbols that had to do with birth and rebirth. Eggs and vagina’s, goddesses and water. As I drew I thought about “sleep” and chanted the word in my mind.
It was as much ritual as art and I completed it by giving Jon the Pillow on the Winter Solstice. The longest night of the year.
